the one that really baffles me tho is that remake of Psycho. don't know what Van Zandt was trying to get at, he just did a shot for shot remake which was flat and lifeless. it was like he was saying "This is what it would look like in color!" what a douche. |
You know... there's B&W, and then there's B&W for artistic purposes only.
|
Lots of good films :)
Think I need to come back to this thread in the winter and watch some of the ones I havn't seen. |

It's not a classic, but it fits: Man Bites Dog. Clerks is also a requirement for anyone who grew up in the late 80s/early 90s.

Attack of the 50 ft woman (original) The Indestructible Man The Wolfman The Mummy The Behemoth It came from beneath the sea The amazing collosal man Attack of the Crab Monsters Tons more. Can't remember them all, only recall snippets of some and don't know the titles. I keep watching for such movies on Turner Classics but they only rarely show these kinds of fims. |
Quote:
I still recall the line of dialogue from Attack of the Crab Monsters- "So professor, how are the crabs blowing up the island?" :1orglaugh You could also buy the super 8 film stock and go shoot your own, which i did when i could scrape the money together cuz it was pretty expensive. Turner is just too conservative. Occasionally you will see The Wolfman or Invasion Of The Body Snatchers but thats about it. |

I wish the Space channel would get off this horror kick they've been on for so long and start running some classic sci fi. After all, are they the Space channel or the horror channel? Even if they ran some classic horror films it would be better. Christ lately it's all "Bride of Chucky" every other weekend. Ugh. |

space channel is canadian right? i only got that channel when i lived in washington state several years back and never heard of it before then. that sucks though, they should be showing some more old science fiction stuff, shit the stuff is cheap to broadcast and i am sure at least a small percent is in public domain by now. i miss canadian tv alot. used to watch it all the time. this hour has 22 minutes, Made In Canada, Talking To Americans....:1orglaugh great stuff. |

In October TCM gets a little looser, like one night I watched Spider Baby and Freaks back to back, with one of my favorite film historians Robert Osborne offering commentary. |
Quote:
Spider Baby is fairly rare, they did a dvd re-release several years ago so i snagged a copy but i'd never heard of it on tv before. I cringe when i think of some of the great shit i had on VHS that i never transferred and lost. |

oh OH! "it came from outerspace" was great ... somehow i recall it as better than the one with kurt russel?! ah well, back in those days movies were a real impact ... younger brains are impressed more easily :P
|
Clerks for sure
|
Boyz n the Hood :) Does Sin City count? black, white and red

the original story called "Who Goes There?" was written by John Campbell in the 30's, one of my favorite science fiction writers of the period. |
Nice to see some classic horror fans posting. Here's some good ones that haven't been mentioned yet.
City Of The Dead (aka Horror Hotel) Castle Of Blood House On Haunted Hill Night Of The Demon The Old Dark House Black Sunday The Uninvited Quote:

Sarah, appologies for sorting this on your thread... This idiot needs to be quiet.

I thought you could have worked that out on your own? Oh, & sort your sig out too.... Your twitter has a problem! Dont speak to me, dont look at me & get my face off your content you thief! :2 cents: @ Sarah. Im glad you like B&W movies. I do like some subtitled BTW....:thumbsup |
Love to see how many people here are mentioning Metropolis.
Anyone in Tampa Bay- at the end of August at the Tampa Theatre they are playing the definitive restoration (something like 25 extra minutes of found and restored footage) with live musical accompaniment on the huge antique theatre organ. So all about this. Quote:

Most of my tops are already included in this thread, but my #1 top Black and White I think would have to be L'avventura.
To me its the definition of "film"- the way Antonioni creates atmosphere and emotion through visuals. Its master craft. Its not for everyone, but for some of you mentioning films by directors like Jarmush I think this would fall into your taste range. If you like it and you want to keep on an Italian kick check out La Dolce Vita and 8 1/2 by Felini. Different pacing but great for different reasons. |

Shelly scoring again - no surprise I'm gonna bookmark this thread for tips Was about to drop a very vicious and nasty remark regarding "ArseWithClass" but I guess I'm growing up |
Its not Black and white but (Silent Movie) by Mel Brooks is one of mine for sure!

And I would be surprised if Metropolis wasn't on nearly everyone's top 10 b&w list. To this date no one has surpassed the effects used in the film. They work perfectly and every thing they did they had to invent. http://com123.files.wordpress.com/20...tropolis16.jpg compare that to modern effects. I Robot starring Will Smith for example. What a freaking joke. 100 million dollars for what? Crappy looking cgi robots, not to mention how badly they butchered Asimov's story. [/endrant] |
